Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In the northernmost US town of Barrow, Alaska, each winter they experience 30 days of complete darkness – ideal for the undead to hunt down human flesh with impunity. Sheriff Josh Hartnett has to outwit chief bloodsucker Danny Huston and his ravenous crew before the whole town is turned into a vampire snack bar.
Produced by Sam Raimi and directed by David Slade, this is a real baying-at-the-moon gorefest, unusual both for its savagery and for a half-decent performance from Hartnett. Why the desperate townsfolk don't resort to silver crucifixes and garlic isn't explained – they must have seen the movies – though there's tension and enough Grand Guignol to satisfy bloodthirsty tastes.
